I've been thinking a little more about Ian Snell's front foot today, and what effect (if any) it might be having on his performance. I'm generally loath to talk about pitching mechanics in terms of implications for health or success, since it's nigh impossible to identify any particular strong correlations, but I just did a Google image search for pretty much every good pitcher I could think of off the top of my head and to a man their front toes all point towards home plate, so I'm thinking there might be something to this.

(I found this fascinating last week, and the guy is pitching against us tonight. Wonderful stuff. And watch the video. Looks like his leg is about to break when he lands on his left foot.)

I enjoyed this, ty.

Today was a nice day to be out for a walk, look through the window of a restaurant at 2:30, and discover that the Sox started at noon.
